As a general rule, there are way too many names listed on the board for the Cy Young Award. National League voters have been a little more lenient than American League voters. As far as the AL Cy Young Award goes, every pitcher since 1994 has had either 20 wins or 200 strikeouts and a few guys have had both.

Remember, though, that 1994 was a strike year and that went to David Cone with a 16-5 record, a 2.94 ERA, and 132 K in 171.2 innings of work. Prior to that, you have to go back to 1992 when Dennis Eckersley won and then in 1984 when reliever Willie Hernandez won.

In other words, winning the award in the American League is very hard. You have strict criteria that you have to meet. Let’s look at the odds and then narrow the field down.

Here are the AL Cy Young Award odds per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

There were 24 pitchers that had at least 200 strikeouts last season. Only 10 were in the American League. They were Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Shane Bieber, Lance Lynn, Charlie Morton, Matthew Boyd, Lucas Giolito, Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Mike Minor.

There are two pitchers, Mike Clevinger and Tyler Glasnow, that would have been on a 200-strikeout pace had they stayed healthy. Trevor Bauer also would have been, had he stayed with the Indians for the entire season.

In this era of strikeouts, only Rick Porcello (22 wins) in 2016 and Cliff Lee (22 wins) in 2008 have failed to get 200 strikeouts and win the Cy Young dating back to 2006. It is almost a prerequisite to winning the award. If not, you have to be on a really good team with the opportunity to get wins. Lee was the lone exception with the wins because the 2008 Indians were bad.

That narrows down the list a lot for us. We need guys that have 200-strikeout upside. If a guy like Jesus Luzardo at 225/1 or Frankie Montas at 100/1 could stay healthy enough to throw 170ish innings, they’d have a chance. Luzardo at 225/1 is about the only really big balloon number I would consider, but it would be a tall task to work that many innings.

Because of that, quite frankly, we’re left looking at a lot of short prices. A guy like Michael Kopech at 80/1 has the strikeout upside, but he is coming off of Tommy John and will likely be limited. Same with Lance McCullers Jr.

The longest price on the board with a shot at 200 K is Eduardo Rodriguez at 50/1, but it seems unlikely that he will have the wins or the ERA, since that is still an important stat in the minds of voters.

Enough beating around the bush, eh? Here are three Cy Young Award candidates to consider:

<strong>Charlie Morton (+2500) – </strong>Charlie Morton had everything you wanted in a Cy Young candidate last season. He struck out 240 in 194.2 innings. He had 16 wins and an ERA of 3.05. He also allowed the fewest home runs of any pitcher with at least 150 innings pitched. He was really special. The obvious worry here is for a setback in his age-36 season, but Morton had a 2.32 ERA with 142 K in 112.2 innings in the first half. A 68% LOB% in the second half hurt his ERA. His K% did fall to 28.8%, which still classifies as elite, but he got unlucky with runners on base.

Morton has the bullpen to get the wins. He has the team to get the wins. He has the strikeout upside. He could also have a pretty good story if he decides that this is his last season and looks to retire after the year. The voters may give him a nod as a result.

<strong>Mike Clevinger (+1600) – </strong>Mike Clevinger is going to miss a few starts in April and that is the concern. In all honesty, once we get a clearer picture of how much time he will miss, there is a good chance that his price goes up into the 25/1 range. At the very least, you’ll probably be able to find a better number than this.

When Blake Snell won the Cy Young Award in 2018, he only pitched 180.2 innings, so it can be done. Clevinger would need over 200 strikeouts, a good record, and probably a very good ERA. Snell’s ERA was 1.89. Clevinger had a 2.71 ERA over his 126 innings last season with 169 strikeouts. He actually struggled immediately following his return from the injured list. He allowed 12 runs in 6.1 innings.

From July 3 through the end of the season, Clevinger had a 2.17 ERA with 138 K in 107.2 innings of work. If we take away his last start, Clevinger allowed 20 runs in 16 starts from July 3 to September 24. There is a path for him to win the Cy Young, assuming he doesn’t miss too much time in April.

<strong>Chris Sale (+500) – </strong>In all honesty, this is Gerrit Cole’s award to lose. I don’t know if the Red Sox are going to be good enough or if Chris Sale is going to be healthy enough, but Sale will have the numbers. He only pitched 147.1 innings and struck out 218 batters. Sale should have won the award in 2017 with 308 strikeouts, but for some reason, he didn’t.

Sale was hurt by three things last season. Actual injury. Sequencing luck. Home runs. Sale was limited to 25 starts. He had a 66.7% LOB% that drove his ERA up to 4.40, despite a 3.39 FIP. His xFIP was 2.93. His HR/FB% ballooned to 19.5%. He was never really right last season.

I wouldn’t bet Sale at 5/1, but if you find a higher price in the 8/1 or 9/1 range, he’s worth it. He has a chance to really bounce back with a vengeance. I don’t know if he’ll have the wins on a mediocre Red Sox team, but he’s going to have the strikeouts and should have the ERA and FIP.

I have much better long shot options in the National League.

The Round of 16 comes to a close this weekend with the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race. Usually one of the hardest NASCAR tickets to get, this year’s race will have limited spectators, much like the NASCAR All-Star Race at Bristol Motor Speedway did. The stakes are quite a bit higher this time.

NASCAR’s version of The Colosseum hosts the third playoff race and the last chance for drivers below the cut line to keep their championship dreams alive. Those four drivers right now are Ryan Blaney, Matt DiBenedetto, Cole Custer, and William Byron.

We’ll break this race down for you with the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> and see if we can’t snap a drought of our own and pick a winner.

The odds are a little more spread out this week than they were last week. Last week we saw the top seven on the board with short prices and then we saw some big numbers. This week, there are 13 drivers at +2000 or lower. That speaks to the nature of Bristol Motor Speedway. Racing is very tight around the short track.
<h3><strong><u>Playoff Picture</u></strong></h3>
A win will automatically push the victor into the second round, so that would be the preferred outcome for Ryan Blaney, Matt DiBenedetto, Cole Custer, or William Byron. Byron sits just three points behind Clint Bowyer and seven points behind Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola.

Blaney and DiBenedetto basically have to win or they will be eliminated. Blaney lost 10 points and his starting spot for failing the pre-race inspection before the first playoff race at Darlington and that put him well behind the eight-ball. His 13 bonus points were rendered pretty useless from that. He was 40th at Bristol earlier this year, so he’ll have to do quite a bit better here.

Realistically, there really isn’t a whole lot of drama here in all likelihood. Byron was fifth at Darlington, but only has two other top-five finishes, including the win at Daytona in the regular season finale. The current top 12 should advance.
<h3><strong><u>Bristol</u></strong><strong><u> Motor Speedway</u></strong></h3>
The perfect concrete oval at Bristol measures in at .533 miles. The track was resurfaced in 2007 and was found to have mislabeled banking in the turns. The banking is between 24-30 degrees, but most believe that the banking is around 26 degrees.

Also known as Thunder Valley, this is one of the loudest NASCAR tracks on the circuit. This track actually has a lot of nicknames, but it is thought to be one of the must-see racetracks for fans. This race generally draws quite a crowd. This is the first year as a playoff race. It was previously held in late August.
<h3><strong><u>Career Numbers</u></strong></h3>
As far as career numbers go at Bristol, this has been probably the second-best track for Kyle Busch. He has eight career wins in 30 races at Bristol and 13 top-five finishes in 30 races. The only track that might be better for him is Richmond, where he finished sixth last week. Brother Kurt Busch has six wins here and 12 top-five finishes in his 39 races.

Matt Kenseth actually has the most top-five finishes here among active drivers with 15 in his 37 starts. He has four wins, but it has been a while since he won a race, let alone won here.

Denny Hamlin actually hasn’t fared as well as you would expect here with two wins and nine top-five finishes in 29 races. Martin Truex Jr. is well down the board here at +1600 because he has zero wins and only two top-five finishes in 29 starts at Bristol.

As far as the Ford guys go, Brad Keselowski leads all active Ford drivers with three. He’s got six top-five finishes in 21 starts. Kevin Harvick has two wins and 12 top-five finishes in 39 tries. Clint Bowyer hasn’t won, but has eight top-five finishes. Joey Logano has actually been sneaky good at Bristol with two wins and six top-five finishes in 23 starts.
<h3><strong><u>Recent Results</u></strong></h3>
If we look at the last 10 races at Bristol, Kyle Busch has three wins. Six other drivers have one win among active drivers. Busch has five top-five finishes to lead the field in that regard, but his average finish is 15.1. He’s only finished on the lead lap six times in those 10 tries.

Harvick’s career numbers aren’t great, but he has a win and three top-fives here recently. Similarly, Hamlin’s career numbers are lackluster, but he has five top-five finishes and a win.

Logano is actually the highest point-getter in the last 10 races with 360. Jimmie Johnson is second with 346, which is why he has short odds by his standards at +2000. Harvick is third, followed closely by Hamlin.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
Given the prices that are listed, my two favorite picks this week are Joey Logano and Clint Bowyer. Logano runs a hard, aggressive racing style that rubs some people the wrong way, but his aggression on this short track seems to really help. He’s +800 this week and has been third in the two playoff races.

Bowyer is my dice roll, albeit at just +1400. He was second in the first race and he has to be aggressive here. Aggression usually pays off at Bristol. Over the last 10 races, Bowyer ranks fourth in average finish if we remove Christopher Bell’s one start. He needs this one.

<p>The NBA action provides an eight-game slate on Monday, November 21, including this inter-conference tilt in Wisconsin, so make sure you read the best Trail Blazers vs. Bucks betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Portland will open a four-game road trip when they visit Milwaukee at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are -7.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 217.5 points. These inter-conference rivals have faced on two occasions last season, and each time the visiting team got a win.</p>



<p><strong>Blazers fell short again</strong></p>



<p>The Portland Trail Blazers (10-6, 11-5 ATS) suffered the second game in a row, the first time they lost back-to-back games this season. Portland lost three in the last four, all three by five points or fewer, including the most recent one to the Utah Jazz at home. It was a pretty balanced game that could end differently, but the fact the Trail Blazers committed 17 turnovers opposite Utah’s 13 costs the hosts a win here.</p>



<p>Anfernee Simons led the Blazers in this 118-113 loss with 23 points, team-high eight rebounds, game-high seven assists, and game-high four steals. Josh Hart followed him with 19 points, eight boards, and two thefts, while Jusuf Nurkic had 18 points and seven rebounds.</p>



<p>PG Damian Lillard is idle due to a right calf strain, and he will miss an undetermined length of time. SF Keon Johnson (hip) and SG Gary Payton II (conditioning) are questionable to play on Monday against Milwaukee.</p>



<p><strong>Bucks lost to the Sixers on the road</strong></p>



<p>The Milwaukee Bucks (11-4, 10-5-0 ATS) entered this season with nine consecutive wins but then suffered four losses in six games. The latest one came against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, and although Milwaukee wasn’t bad in the first half, they scored just 40 points in the second 24 minutes and lost 110-102. The teams were pretty tied in every segment, but the Sixers had an advantage from the stripe as they made 17 free-throws opposite Milwaukee’s eight.</p>



<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with a double-double of 25 points and game-high 14 rebounds, along with four assists and five turnovers. Bobby Portis recorded a double-double of 21 points and 11 boards, while Brook Lopez chipped in 15 points, four rebounds, and game-high four blocks.</p>



<p>SF Khris Middleton (wrist) is out indefinitely and will not face the Blazers on Monday. SG Wesley Matthews (hamstring), SF Joe Ingles (knee), and SG Pat Connaughton (calf) are questionable.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Portland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-20 ATS in the last 28 games following an ATS loss</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against Milwaukee</li></ul>



<p><strong>Milwaukee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-2 ATS in the last nine home games</li><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games following an ATS loss</li></ul>



<p><strong>Portland Trail Blazers vs. Milwaukee Bucks Pick</strong></p>



<p>Milwaukee didn’t play well of late, but the Bucks did miss Jrue Holiday, who was sidelined for four straight games. Now with him in the starting lineup, the Bucks are better on each end of the floor. Holiday is the team’s best assist-maker with 7.5 apg and the one who has the ability to make players around him better, so I am backing Giannis and Holiday to lead Milwaukee to victory here. The Bucks have the best defensive rating in the NBA as they allow 105.6 ppg per 100 possessions and have the fourth-best team defense in the league, which are two more reasons to bet on the Bucks.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Bucks at -7.5 (-110)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>Both teams have top 5 defenses and that’s why I don’t expect to see a lot of points here. Milwaukee D is allowing 106.6 ppg, while the Blazers allow 108.3 ppg. I already mentioned the Bucks and their defensive rating; they are not even in the top 20 when it comes to offensive rating, while the Blazers are 28th in pace with 97.1 possession per 48 minutes. Under is 19-7-1 in the Trail Blazers’ last 27 overall; Under is 10-2 in Portland’s previous 12 road games, while Under is 20-7 in the Bucks’ last 27 overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 219.5 points (-133)</p>
